A fresher spin on the classic fedora.

No better fishin', sittin', thinkin' hat.

Could be the ultimate summer Sunday afternoon hat. Nice and slouchy, but it's woven with historic hemp for a crisp, airy, linen-like texture that's a step up from most. Inside, a CoolMax® chambray sweatband keeps your forehead feeling dry. If this isn't a fedora of phenomenal coolness, we’ll eat our hat! (After all, hemp was a food staple a few hundred years back.)

I really enjoy this fedora, I wear it to church and just around town and have received many comments on the hat. It's really great that it's crushable, it can be sat on and still retains it's shape. I'd been looking for a good summer hat to keep the sun off my bald head, one that I could wear more than just when I'm dressed up and something that was a lighter weight than wool, this hat really fit the bill.

It's been a long time since the top of my head was naturally covered, and with a 7 7/8 cannonball noggin, it's tough finding hats of any kind that fit in area stores, which is why Duluth Trading has been a God-send for me. I love my FDR hat in spring and autumn, but it's a little too substantial for sweltering mid-summer days. This cool, lightweight number is just the ticket. It took one (warm) wash and a couple of days to get the look 'just right,' but it's a beauty. Have worn it every day through this blistering heatwave.
